The Freedom of The City: a vision for London

David Lammy has been the Member of Parliament for Tottenham since 2000. He is running to be Labour’s nominee for the 2016 London Mayoral election and authored a book on what he believes to be the causes of the 2011 riots, Out of the Ashes.

David Lammy (@DavidLammy| ) will discuss the unique opportunities and challenges that exist in London with a focus on how to ensure that all Londoners benefit from the capital's energy and dynamism.

British Government@LSE|  is an initiative currently based in the Government Department to promote and develop research on British Government being conducted at the LSE. So far world class speakers have attended our events, talking on a range of topics.
